CITY SWEETS & CONFECTIONS

City Sweets, has never let me down. Deborah you are the best cake designer this side of the Mason Dixon line, and has slipped into the hearts of many of my friends and family. Your cakes are the most scrumptious and divine designs I have ever had in my life. I was a bakery person and now I�m a �City Sweeter�. I used her services 1st for my Boyfriends surprise birthday party needed a Golf Cake and other designers took too long to respond. Deborah called me two days later and we discussed the date she had availability. Then we meet to discuss the design it was in April his Frat brothers still talk about that cake till today, the price was excellent she worked with me! ( Worth Every Dang On Penny) My Army Reserve Unit Family Readiness Group will be using her for retirement and Promotion dinners. My birthday cake design was airy I knew what I wanted (It to be Fabulous) that all I knew and it had to be pink. I sat down with Deborah and she came up with the most amazing pink perfection in less than 15 min. ( 4 tier Pink fondant, with different color pink cake with various flavors every bite was a different flavor, lemon, coconut, exc. and it was all pink I couldn�t believe it. My guest were shocked even the men are still asking about that cake. I told her what I was thinking and OMG, you can�t believe what a master piece she designed.( to view go to www.EmpireEntity.com Diva Pink Party. I love her for it. I am stuck on City Sweets. Make sure you tell her what your theme is and your true vision and I give you my word she can do or tell you how best to achieve that vision. when your sitting with my cake designer be sure to tell her Lois-Lachel says your cakes are a delightful delectable design and deliciously fabulous. Two more birthday parties ( Son and Daughter), and my engagement dinner, bachelorette( his bachelor) party and his theme and my wedding cake. I trust her every step of the way. If you want a cake to remember and for people to talk about forever. Try City Sweets. I know with her you will be happy. I am!

I absolutely loved working with Deborah. From the minute I met her, I knew that she was one of the vendor's that would make me happy on my wedding day. Being an indecisive bride, I changed the design of my wedding cake numerous times before settling on what I finally wanted only 5 days before my wedding. I gave Deborah a lot of creative leeway because I trusted her artistic abilities and am so happy I did. Our cake was so original and one guest even thought that it was an artistic sculpture! Everyone loved the taste and the whole cake was gone by the end of the night. I never thought I would save the top layer but I had to because it was too beautiful and tasty to throw away!Thanks Deborah!!!

Deborah Lauren is incredibly talented and works some serious magic with her cakes! She made our wedding cake for this past weekend and not only did it look like it should be on the cover of a magazine, but it tasted delicious too! We needed a non-dairy cake (which most bakers said no to right away), but Deborah said that she could do almost all of her cakes/frostings non-dairy. When we met with Deborah for a tasting a few months ago, I thought that there had been some sort of confusion because there was no way the cake and frostings were non-dairy....but they were! Seriously delicious and gorgeous. It was such a treat to have such beautiful art served at our wedding. Everyone commented about how much they loved it, and we couldn't have been happier. Deborah is a pleasure to work with and is truly as good as it gets. Our cake was white chocolate with chocolate frosting for some layers and vanilla cake with passionfruit frosting for others. The cake was draped with fondant and covered with the most beautiful sugar peonies and hydrangea to match our centerpieces. Simply fabulous!!!! I recommend City Sweets to everyone!We are certainly looking forward to coming back to Deborah for every cake we ever need in the future!

OH MY GOD. My cake was amazing!!! The flavor and the decorations. I love this place!

Perfect! We met Deborah not having a real idea of what we wanted. She presented 10 different flavor cupcakes and fillings for us to try (all delicious). It was difficult to decide because everything was so good. She guided us through the the process asking questions; low and wide, high and thin, round or square....? We told her what we like and some ideas of what we were looking for. She presented us with a breathtaking cake. She is an artist. The handmade, edible flowers looked freshly cut. I could not believe how beautiful it was. The guests couldn't stop talking about it. The best part is it was as yummy as it was gorgeous. We had lemon cake with rasberry filling and buttercream frosting. She captured what we wanted perfectly. So many guests have commented on the cake. The other great thing is how nice she is. She answered my inquiry promptly, was flexible in meeting us and just so pleasant and friendly. I will have her make a cake anytime and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, thank you Deborah!

Deborah is awesome. At our tasting, Deborah made us probably 10 cupcakes and 10 different frosting samples. She has a background in graphic design, so she and parkgroom really clicked, and I knew she would do a great job. Parkgroom and I were both so excited about her cake and frosting (respectively) that we e-mailed her right after our tasting to tell her we wanted to work with her. She told us she’d make us a fabulous cake for the number of guests we were having for our budget, and she delivered! In fact, we trusted her taste so much, we gave her nearly free range over our cake design and we were not disappointed!

My husband and I came across City Sweets by recommendation which is why I feel so passionately about recommending her to future brides...you will NOT be disappointed! Deborah was such an incredibly professional, responsive and flexible person to work with. Nothing we asked of her was too difficult, and she made fantastic recommendations to us along the way. We felt the creation of our wedding cake was a wonderful collaboration of our taste and style, and her unparalleled creativity and skill. Deborah continued to meet with us throughout our planning process to gain an understanding of exactly what the theme of our wedding was and how we wanted the cake to tie in. She brought us mini cupcake in different flavors to taste, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable with every step of the process. The taste of the cake goes beyond anything we could have imagined (this is coming from true dessert addicts). Your guests will be raving about the texture, taste and elegance of your wedding cake. Everyone commented on how it was so moist and the flavors of each layer really came through. While planning our wedding we trusted and worked with vendors that came highly recommended by friends and other brides, that being said we cannot recommend Deborah and City Sweets & Confections highly enough!!!! She exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to plan our next big event and feature one of her exceptional creations. We love you Deb! Andrea & Rob

I highly recommend City Sweets and Deborah. She is so friendly and professional which is relieving when you're planning a wedding! I was amazed by how wonderful her cake was and how happy she was to let us take our time in deciding flavors, decor, etc. She is truly talented and a pleasure to work with. If you want an amazing cake and a stress free process, Deborah is your best bet!

Deborah was wonderful to work with. She truly brings your concept to life and surpass your every expectations. My husband and I were very happy with the amazing range of flavors, filling and quality ingredients she has to offer. She was also able to provide a cake for special dietary needs, gluten and lactose free. The guests at the party was raving about how delicious and beautiful our wedding cake looks. Deborah is amazingly talented and professional. She has a passion for what she does. Her technique and amazing artistic nature not only makes her cake delicious and beautiful but a masterpiece to any weddings. We had fun working with Deborah and highly recommend her.

Deborah was the absolute best! I randomly found her on another wedding site, and from the minute I first contacted her, she was very quick to respond. My fiance and I probably had about 5 different tastings because we could not decide what flavor cake we wanted. Her flavor combinations are absolutely amazing (my favorite is the white vanilla bean/passionfruit/buttercream frosting)! We ended up with a monstrosity of a cake (6 layers), with 5 different flavors for each layer (bottom and top layers were the same) at a very reasonable price. Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious. Deborah also made her beautiful cupcakes for my bridal shower, and she is also making the cake for my upcoming baby shower. Of all the vendors I worked with to plan the wedding, she was by far, my absolute favorite. Any bride who is looking for a beautiful and tasty cake need not look any further!

I came across City Sweets by accident online but I could not have had a luckier find. Deborah was such a lovely person to work with. Nothing was too much trouble, she understood exactly what I wanted and effortlessly created the most beautiful wedding cake I have ever seen! It almost brought tears to my eyes when I saw it, I could not have imagined anything more perfect. It also tasted as good as it looked. I opted for a different flavour for each layer and it worked really well. I have to say that the coconut sponge was to die for though and proved to be a firm favourite among my wedding guests. Everyone commented on it and how nice it tasted and as testiment to this not a slice was left! I cannot recommend City Sweets highly enough, my expectations were not only exceeded, they were completely blown away!

WONDERFUL! Deborah did such an amazing job and made the most delicious wedding cake. My guests were RAVING (and still are) about the cake. A+++!

Deborah was a dream to work with!! She came referred by by amazing planner, Michelle of Pink Monkey Events in NYC. Deborah created my dream wedding cake, taking my idea of fondant "pearls" to to another level by combining tiers of pearls with an elegant scroll design in my light purple color palette. She included flowers and worked in my cake topper perfectly (look in her portfolio, my cake is the 6th one in it) She brought tons of ideas to the table, the flavors of the cake were ALL delicious (we went with one tier each of lemon curd, raspberry jam, and vanilla marscapone) and our guests haven't stopped raving since! Seriously. Deborah also made tiny, delicious cupcakes with coordinating scroll designs, which she packaged in lavender flower-shapes boxes for our guests to take as favors. She was absolutely fantastic and I can't recommend City Sweets any more highly!!!

Delicious and decadent! Deborah exceeded all of our expectations! She created the most amazing wedding cake for us on 9/5. We went with the red velvet and vanilla cream...and the dark chocolate with raspberry filling. AMAZING!! She created a simple yet sophisticated design of the most gorgeous sugar flowers. The roses were a perfect match to my bouquet. I literally cried when I saw the cake for the first time! So beautiful! Deborah could charge 5x what she does. She's NYC's hidden gem!! My husband and I cannot wait to order our next cake from her!

Deborah Lauren is truly an amazing baker and artist! Working with her was one of the best and most enjoyable vendor experiences of our whole wedding. Deborah was gracious and happy to accommodate all of our tasting requests - the many different cake and filling flavors she offers are so tantalizing, it was difficult to choose - and it was clear from the tasting that she only relies on high quality fresh and natural ingredients for her cakes, which was really important to us.Deborah had suggested a green cake to go with the colors of our wedding, and I agreed, although I wasn't quite sure of it. When we walked into the reception after our ceremony and finally saw the cake, it truly took our breath away! I have never seen anything so beautiful - the color was gorgeous and perfect, and she had decorated it with handmade white sugar flowers that actually fluttered in the wind!! It was unique, simple, elegant and classic - which was exactly what we had wanted.The cake was absolutely delicious, as well as beautiful - all of our guests made a point to tell us how much they enjoyed the cake - many telling us "I've never had a wedding cake that tasted so delicious!!" My husband and I agree, and are so happy we decided to work with Deborah and Citysweets for our wedding cake. Deborah put so much time, effort, care and attention to making the perfect cake for our wedding - we could not have asked for a better baker or a better value for the cost. We will recommend Citysweets to all of our friends. I can't wait for the next occasion that we'll need a cake for, so that we can work with Deborah and her delicious cake again!

Our City Sweets cake was absolutely delicious (white chocolate cake and frosting with triple berry mousse filling) and looked amazing. Working with Deborah was great from the initial tasting where she made cupcakes of each of the flavor combinations and helped us design the cake to the actual day. We met with several vendors (many much more expensive) and none of their cakes tasted anywhere near as good as Deborah's samples which were moist and flavorful.

Deborah's cakes are amazing! Every year I order a cake from Deborah for my son's birthday party. One year I didn't and the guests were clearly disappointed! Once you've had Deborah's delicious cakes nothing else can compare! This year the guests were going back for seconds. There wasn't a crumb left! Glad I got a piece!!--Maria

I've known Deborah for quite a few years now from her work in a completely different industry to now, in what must be her true calling! She created an incredible birthday cake for me a while back and I knew then that there would be no other phone calls to anyone else for my wedding cake.She is a joy to work with and gives 120% when it comes to quality of service and product. I couldn't be happier with the results. It looked and tasted amazing. My guests raved! My other vendors wanted to know who it was so they could recommend her to others. I can't say enough!

There was so many choices of creating the cake. The cost of the cake was very good and the little kids loved it! Came on time and it was my dream cake for my wedding.

Deb;s cupcakes were beyond moist and delicious. Her frosting is out of this world light and creamy. I basically stuffed my face during our tasting (and she lets you taste a bunch of different flavors), and I stuffed it again at the wedding. They were a HUGE hit with people. Get the chocolate chai flavor! YUM.
